To all whom. it may 00 m'crn Be it known that I, JOHN ()soan SMITH. a citizen of the United States, residing at Moberly, in the Qounty o't Randolph and State. of Missouri, have invented a new and useful Concealed Cigar Holder and Moutlr piece; and 1 do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and' exact description of the invention, suchms will enable others skilled in the art to which it appc'rtains to make and use the same. h

This invention relates to a new and useful concealed cigar holder or mouth piece.

. As one of the objects of the invention, it is' the aim to provide a device of this nature, L0 be mai'iufactured within one end of a cigarflin such a manner, as to be concealed from view, thereby preventing the end of the cigar tram becomingwater soaked or through nuishcd while in the mouth.

As further stated, it is an object of this invention" to arrange a cylindrical tubular member, constructed of" any suitable ahsorl ,cnt"material,'such ascotton, blotting paper or the like, preferably blotting paper, in the holder for absorbing the nicotin. By constructingihis Incrnhertubular and of blotling paper, the smoke will pass freely the holder or mouth piece without being obstructed, While the nicotin is absorbed, thereby permitting that smoker to secure a good clean dry smoke shbstantially to the forward end of the holder. been found that where raw cotton has been bunched in wads inholders, they have become nicotin soaked, thereby offering a good deal of resistance to the passage of the smoke, hence the conception of a tubular member of absorbent material.

One of the features of the invention is the provision oft-breads upon the inner bore of the holder, with which the filler .of the cigar engages, in order to insure a firm structure.

In th drawings certain features of construcliioi. are disclosed, but in 'pl'uctical fields these features may necessitutealtertu,

perspective of a cigar constructed in tic-- cordance with the invention. Fi%. 2 is a sections], vlew through thesame, s lowing the It has thr .tldS and the tubular mcmbcr of absorbent material. Fig. 3 is a sectional view showing a different form and arrangement of the absorbent member, with the teeth or threads omitted. Fig. l is a detail view of the holder or mouth piece detached, showing, the same constructed of any suitable hands, coiled as shown.

Referring to the drawings 1 designates the holder or mouth piece, which may be constructed of any suitable material, however, in Fig. 4 the some is constructed of a band coiled upon itself as shown, said band being denoted by the numeral 2.

In Fig. 2 of the drawings the inner bore of the holder or mouth piece, is provided with threads 3, with which the filler4 of the cigar engagesain order to insure a firm connection between the body of the cigar and the holder. Also in Fig. 2 this bore 5 ter minutes in a restricted portion 6, for the reception of the tubularhiember absorbent material,preferably blotting paper. This tubular member 7 contacts with the shoulder t3, and is designed for the purpose of absorb mg the nrcotin. However, in Fi 3 the member 7 1s more'in the form of a disk hav ing a passage 9, through which the smoke passes, and is located in the bore 5. In each of the views of the drawings thepassagc of the absorbent member is in registration with the passage or duct of the holder, so that. the smoke will not be obstructed in its passage. The wrapper 11 of the cigar is also Wrapped around the holder or mouth piece, thereby concealing the some from View, and also insuring a rigid or firm struclure. The mouth piece 1 is made out of wood, but may be tirade out of any other suitable material such as fiber, c'ork, aper, or the like. The design shown in Fig. 4 is preferably made of paper.

From the 'forcgoin it will be noted that there has been devised a simple and efiicient concealed cigar holder or mouth piece havlug an absorbent member for the nicotin, and one which has been found desirable and practical.

The invention having been set forth, what is claimed as new and useful is 1. In a cigarholder or mouth piece adapted to be concealed beneath the Wrapper thereof and having a threads to be engaged by the filler of the cigar, said bore terminating in a. restricted bore provided with 1.10
